The Uvex Unidur 6643 Gloves have been tested to EN 388, which is the European standard for gauging the resistance of a glove against mechanical hazards. Please see the table below to find the results of these gloves achieved when tested.

Key Features and Benefits

• Tough, but lightweight, abrasion, tear, and puncture-resistant gloves
• Level B cut resistance for handling tasks with a moderate risk of cuts
• Particularly suited to fine assembly tasks that require tactility
• Coated with nitrile rubber on the palms and fingertips for added protection

What is Level b CuT Resistance?

A level B cut resistance rating is a score given to gloves when tested for cut resistance under EN 388 standards. Gloves that have tested to level B cut resistance offer protection of force up to 5 newtons against straight blade cuts, making them suitable for tasks in which there is a moderate risk of cuts from hazards.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.
